Nav bar sections rearrange

[Ana06]

The old style had more links as the current one:

I do not really like the dropdowns wit hthat many things, but I wonder if we are missing something important... 🤔

Also the download and software tabs are almost the same:

Why do we have they both? Could we remove the software one? 🤔

[Ana06]

@guoyunhe any opinion? 😃

The new UI separated these links to two position:

1. Most important links (users may need every day) are in navbar
2. Less important links are in footer

"Derivates" is missing in new UI. I think we can add it to footer. Other links should be in footer. If here are still something missing, let me know.

In my mind, "Download" and "Software" are two different functions. One is for download system images, the other is for download packages. If we remove the search bar on "Download" page, they should look like different apps, despite they are built in the same site. So my suggestion is to move the search bar on "Download" page at the end of the page. Just let users know they can also download packages, but this page is quite different from the "Software" page.

Another thing people has pointed out is, the "Software" start page is so empty with only a search bar. Users may expect something more, like categories (from RPM spec or keyword or package pattern), featured apps, new apps that recently submitted to Factory and require volunteers to test.

So, we can keep both "Download" and "Software" links on navbar, but need to defer their functions and content.

We already have site with categories (appstore) online, it could be used as main site for Software to it (I suggested that some time ago but was rejected :/) https://software.opensuse.org/appstore/

It currently finds and selects random packages based on whether they got images or not, which is not optimal, but unless we add rating and stuff from gnome store into it, we got nothing else to put there (unless we are gonna feature packages by hand, which in my opinion is not optimal in long term).

@LelCP I think https://software.opensuse.org/appstore/ is good as a home page.

Integrate GNOME store API is also good. However, I didn't find any information about its API. I know Ubuntu has their rating and review database but their favorite apps are not exactly what openSUSE users want. Especially because many openSUSE users love KDE apps. I am interested in the following data from openSUSE:

1. Recently updated package in openSUSE Factory/Tumbleweed. (could we get it from RPM or OBS API?)
2. Download statistics of official repository. (now sure if the data is available and can be accessed.)

Recently released KDE Discover uses Gnome's API, so there shouldn't be a problem with common interest :D

1. I believe we got rss feeds for this (we certainly got it for whole OBS), there shouldn't be much trouble in getting that info
2. No idea, but doubt it
